Details

Minis are young mealworms (13 to 18mm long). As with the other mealworm species we supply their diet is vegetarian. This means that they are safe to feed to birds and cannot pass on diseases which may be found in larvae fed on meat, such as maggots. Particularly moist, Minis are very suitable for feeding to fledglings as they are unable to obtain water by drinking.
